Alphabetical Archive: Lemonheads: “Mrs. Robinson” (1992)

When the Lemonheads first released the It’s a Shame About Ray album in the summer of 1992, this song was nowhere to be found. But then the band says they were pressured to record their cover of the song as a way of promoting a 25th anniversary home video release of The Graduate, the movie for which Simon and Garfunkel wrote the song. When the Lemonheads’ cover took off, the Ray album was re-released with this song as track 13 on the CD. By the way, Paul Simon is said to hate this version; Art Garfunkel, on the other hand, quite likes it.
